Kristen Ng

Hello! I'm Kristen, and I'm here to help you navigate through life's challenges. Have you been feeling little or no enjoyment in the things that used to bring you joy? Do you feel stuck in negative thought patterns or easily irritated? Maybe you are longing for close relationships with others, but once conflict arises or someone begins to be vulnerable, you become scared, which in turn leads you to pull away from those you love.

I primarily offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to address those traumatic experiences that cause you to feel stuck or hindered in your everyday life. For those who desire a spiritual approach, I also incorporate a Christian spiritual healing technique called SOZO. I am passionate about working with people who have experienced developmental trauma, especially sexual abuse, which often leads to complex PTSD in adulthood. Additionally, I have extensive experience with postpartum, perinatal, and birth trauma in both men and women. Often, postpartum depression in men goes unnoticed as they pull away from their partner and become more involved in work, straining their relationship and leading to increased risk of unhealthy habits or addictions to cope.

My main theoretical approaches are Emotionally Focused Therapy and Narrative Therapy, but I also include somatic body-centered techniques, ecotherapy, various arts, Gestalt, and mindfulness/play therapy based on the needs of each client. I have worked with clients who were sex trafficked; had substance, sex, eating disorder, and other kinds of addictions; borderline personality disorder; domestic violence perpetrators and victims; PTSD; veterans; grief and loss; various couples including those who have experienced infidelity; children ranging from the age of four to 17 years old; foster care system; selective mutism; relational issues; life transitions; traumatic grief and loss; and adult women who suffered from child sexual abuse and domestic violence.

My aim is to join with you in your therapeutic journey and facilitate the process of healing, as I believe each person has the potential and strength within them to overcome whatever adversity they have experienced. I look forward to knowing and understanding each person’s heart, as there is so much beauty, victory, and joy waiting to be unlocked within you all!
